10 Words You Need to Stop Misspelling Chrysler outs in-vehicle wireless charger for mobile devices Chrysler's Mopar Division has revealed an in-vehicle wireless charging system for mobile devices that's set to make its debut in the 2013 Dodge Dart later this year Image Gallery (3 images) We've eagerly followed the evolution of the wireless charging technology for mobile devices here at Gizmag, from its very early incarnations right through to the very latest developments.

The Mopar in-vehicle wireless charging technology is being made available for US$199.99 (not including the cost of installation) and will make its debut in the 2013 Dodge Dart that's set to hit dealerships during Q2 2012.

Monday Start-Up: Lessons Learned from Air Travel | TheWorkingWardrobe.com As some of you may know via my Twitter stream, I flew to Chicago for work last Monday and am checked in with bags packed to head back to New York this morning. It has been a whirlwind of a trip as most work trips are, but mostly what I wanted to share with everyone is a lesson that I learned from air travel during my flight last week.

El ocaso de Nokia El abril de 1998, Nokia desbancaba a Motorola como líder de la pujante industria de la telefonía móvil. Catorce años ha durado la supremacía del gigante finlandés. En el primer trimestre del presente curso, la multinacional surcoreana Samsung vendió 88 millones de unidades, mientras que Nokia se quedaba en 83 millones. Más preocupante que la rápida pérdida de cuota de mercado es la falta de convicción y dinamismo que parece tener maniatada a la dirección de la empresa. La semana pasada, Nokia advirtió a los inversores que los dos primeros trimestres del presente curso serán negativos.
